Chapter 20: A woman disguises herself as a man


"Huh?"

Chen Yunzhi looked at Hou Qinglan in surprise when she heard this, with a frightened expression on her face, "If my father knows about it, he will definitely scold me." ” "Scold, scold, can you lose a piece of meat?"

Hou Qinglan had an indifferent expression on her face, it was her consistent style that a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, and everyone in her family jokingly called her a little hob meat.

Chen Yunzhi was also speechless when she heard Hou Qinglan's words, looked at Hou Qinglan with envy, and said, "I really envy Cousin Qinglan, I am not afraid of heaven and earth." ” "Who said I am not afraid of heaven and earth."

Hou Qinglan said, "I'm afraid of my father, as soon as he glares at me, I have to pretend to be very well-behaved, otherwise he will definitely punish me." ” Chen Yunzhi smiled when she heard this, and said, "Uncle doesn't know how much he hurts you, even if he punishes you, he won't be punished too heavily." ” "Not heavy?"

Hou Qinglan said depressedly, "Last time I played with fire to burn the yard, he punished me for not eating for three days, if it wasn't for the little stick head (maid) secretly sent me food, I was afraid that I would starve to death." ” Chen Yunzhi was speechless for a while, playing with fire to burn the yard, this cousin of her can really get into trouble, she felt that this little cousin was too unreliable, and she didn't know what trouble she was going to get into when she went out, so she was ready to divert the topic and asked, "Why didn't the little stick head come with you this time?"

"The little stick head is Hou Qinglan's personal maid, big families always like to find a maid of the same age for their daughter, play with her since she was a child, grow up to serve the young lady life, and wait until the future Miss marries, but also with the young lady to marry, to be a maid in the room, the maid in the room is to accompany the young lady to marry to the aunt's house, considered a concubine, and this little stick head is Hou Qinglan's personal maid, but Hou Qinglan gave her this name is a bit strange.

Hou Qinglan said: "Little Stick Head's home is in Shaoxing, my father asked her to go home to see her mother, so she didn't come over, cousin, look at it, this dress is Xiao Stick Head, she is about the same size as you, this dress should just fit you."

As she spoke, she picked up a piece of men's clothing and handed it to Chen Yunzhi.

Chen Yunzhi suddenly didn't know how to answer, but she didn't expect Hou Qinglan to pull the topic back again, she wanted to refuse, but she was thin-skinned and didn't know how to refuse.

Hou Qinglan saw her hesitation, and immediately knew that she didn't want to go out, so she pulled her arm and shook it from side to side, and began to be coquettish: "Ah, cousin, my good cousin, no, you are my own sister, you just accompany me to go out to play, just this time, as long as we don't say it, my father and uncle won't know, cousin, don't you want to go out and see, it's like being stuck in a cage all day long, how boring, let me tell you, it's fun outside, there are a lot of tricks, monkeys, sugar gourd sellers, candy people's ......"

She frothed at the mouth and told Chen Yunzhi about the fun things outside, what she said was that she saw it in the capital, how lively the capital was, as for Pingchang County, she didn't know if there were any of these things, so she would fool Chen Yunzhi out first.

Hou Qinglan's words made Chen Yunzhi's heart moved, she is a standard lady, she doesn't go out of the door in Pingsuli, stays at home all day, occasionally goes out, has to take a sedan chair, and is not allowed to lift the sedan curtain to look out, so she almost doesn't know what is fun outside, and the memory of the outside world only exists in the last time she went to the street when she was seven years old.

When she thought about it, she felt like a bird in a cage, and a faint sadness came over her.

Thirteen years old, which is the embryonic age of the rebellious period, Chen Yunzhi thought for a long time, suddenly her head was hot, and she nodded vigorously: "Okay, I'll go out with you, but I have to come back early, but I must not let my father find out." ” "Don't worry, you won't be discovered."

Hou Qinglan swore and said, "Come, cousin, put on your clothes, I'll get your hair ......"

Hou Qinglan is obviously a veteran of this way, it can be seen that it is not the first time that she has dressed as a man, all the movements are so skillful, and she quickly finished dressing up, the two glanced at each other, and both smiled, and then Hou Qinglan gently opened the door, stretched out her head and looked outside, made sure that there was no one in the courtyard, and then ran out.

"Let's go to the kitchen first, find a burden to pretend to be a picker, and then mix it out."

Hou Qinglan took Chen Yunzhi's hand and said as she ran.

"But I'm not going to carry the burden."

"It's okay, just make a show, and I didn't really let you choose." …… Today, the business in Li Hao's shop is very hot, although the expensive price of Xiaolong soup dumplings discourages many customers, but the city is the city, even if it is only the county seat, there are still many rich people, the expensive price of Xiaolong soup dumplings is circulated in the streets and alleys, from early morning to now, an hour and a half time, almost half of the people in Pyeongchang City know that the Pyeongchang snack bar has a new gourmet snack, called Xiaolong soup dumplings, many rich businessmen are more idle in the morning, so they come to try the taste.

Rich people's consumption concept is indeed different from that of ordinary people, no matter what they do, they pay attention to forcing the style, come to have a breakfast, or have to have a private room, see a beautiful food box, even if they don't pack it away, they have to get a wooden box, the key is not to take the wooden box away after eating, Zhen Jian can also recycle and reuse, he likes these customers who pretend to be forced, and they always make money.

Zhen Jian estimated that today's steamed dumplings and xiaolong soup dumplings are not enough to sell, after all, these two are meat foods, he didn't dare to prepare too much, after all, it is summer, and meat food is the most likely to spoil, so he can only ask everyone to get more Huangqiao baked cakes, in case the steamed dumplings and xiaolong soup dumplings are out of stock.

Rich people like to go to private rooms, private rooms do not need money, however, there is a minimum consumption limit, and the minimum consumption of each private room is 100 wen within half an hour.

This minimum consumption sounds outrageous, what is the concept of 100 Wen, many guests are speechless, but the private room is still not enough, because those rich people are not bad for money, such as a rich businessman with the whole family upstairs for breakfast, if the whole family is only three people, all eat Xiaolong soup dumplings, how to say that it also takes 20 to 30 soup dumplings to eat it, soup dumplings 5 Wen money, 20 soup bags are 100 Wen, completely reach the minimum consumption, plus some tea or something, the general private room consumption is more than 150 Wen.

Because there are not many soup dumplings prepared today, it has only been open for two hours, and only 30 soup dumplings have been sold out, Zhen Jian immediately announced that today's soup dumplings are sold out, and if everyone wants to come, they will hurry up tomorrow, and many people shouted that it was a pity, and they could only eat steamed dumplings and Huangqiao baked cakes.

And the 30 soup dumplings left by Zhen Jian are intended to be left for the three wealthy businessmen, because he observes the guests who come here every day, there are three merchants in silk who often come to the store to eat breakfast, and they are very generous, often just scattering a handful of copper coins, and then saying that there is no need to make change, every time he can earn more than a dozen yuan for no reason, but today these three people have not come yet, so he kept them for them, as a special care for regular customers, mainly to keep these rich people for a long time.

It was almost noon, the guests gradually dispersed, all of Zhen Jian's things were almost sold, there were still about 20 Huangqiao baked cakes and eight xiaolong soup dumplings left, and there was a regular customer and rich businessman who did not come today.

Zhen Jian was about to close and clean up the tables and chairs, and suddenly saw two young people walking in, these two young people were really red and white-toothed, they looked like a delicate one, and they were not very old, the one on the left was about the same age as him, and the height was similar, and the other one looked only eleven or twelve years old, which looked a little familiar at first glance.

As soon as he entered the store, the younger young man's eyes were purring, and when he looked around, these two were Hou Qinglan and Chen Yunzhi dressed as men.

"Two guest officers, please inside."

Zhou Huai hurriedly stepped forward to greet the guest with a smile.

Chen Yunzhi was a little frightened and cowered, but Hou Qinglan was very bold, and asked with her head held high, "Is there a private room?"

” "Yes, yes, yes."

When Zhou Huai heard that it was actually a private room, he immediately smiled with his eyebrows, "The private room is upstairs, and the minimum consumption is 100 wen within half an hour." ” "What?"

Hou Qinglan frowned and asked puzzledly, "What is the minimum consumption of 100 Wen?"

” As soon as Zhou Huai wanted to explain, Zhen Jian stepped forward and explained: "The time used in the private room is half an hour, and in this half an hour, no matter how much money you spend in the private room, you must exceed 100 Wen, and if you spend less than 100 Wen, then you must also give 100 Wen." ” "What?

If you don't eat 100 Wen, you have to give 100 Wen?

Hou Qinglan suddenly glared and shouted, "You guys are a black shop!"

” When opening a store to do business, I hate that others say it is a black store, because this is the will of the owner, and the ancient people paid great attention to discipline.

Zhen Jian frowned when he heard this, and secretly thought in his heart: "Little thing, your tutor is not very good, and you dare to come out and pretend to be forced if you have no money, which is very bad." ” Of course, he couldn't say this kind of thing in front of the guests, he could only give a perfunctory smile and said: "The rules of this store are like this, if you don't have enough money, you might as well eat in the hall downstairs, and go to the private room next time." ” Zhen Jian's words are still very standard, not saying that they don't have money, but that they don't have enough money, which is very euphemistic and saves face.

However, Hou Qinglan said: "Whoever said I don't have money, I want a private room." ” Chen Yunzhi secretly tugged Hou Qinglan's sleeve and whispered in her ear: "Let's eat in the hall, the private room is too expensive, 100 Wen, I didn't bring any money." ” "Ah, you don't have any money?"

Hou Qinglan originally thought that Chen Yunzhi was the daughter of the magistrate, and she would bring a few hundred dollars when she came out to play, but who knew that she didn't bring any money, and she herself basically didn't give her money because her father was afraid that she would run out secretly, so her money was very limited.

Hou Qinglan touched her money bag, it was only thirty wen, so she could only pull Chen Yunzhi to find a table and sit down, and said, "We don't want a private room, let's eat here, I heard that there is a very delicious bun in your store, what is it called?"

” "It's a soup dumpling."

Li Hao replied with a smile on his face.

"Yes, xiaolongtang dumplings, five cents a piece?"

Hou Qinglan asked the price first, don't eat too much and have no money to pay the bill, it will be embarrassing.

"Well, five cents a piece."

Li Hao nodded.

"Let's ...... first," she secretly calculated, thirty yuan, you can eat six, and said, "Give us six xiaolong soup dumplings." ” "Two people eat six?"

Zhen Jian asked with a very strange expression, after all, the soup dumplings are too small, and two people eat six......

It should be enough to stuff your teeth.

"Why, can't you?"

Hou Qinglan had a hobby expression on her face.

"Yes, of course."

Zhen Jiangan laughed and gave Zhou Huai a look, and Zhou Huai immediately went to the kitchen.

Zhen Jian took two steps seemingly casually, moved to the side of Hou Qinglan and Chen Yunzhi, and then suddenly showed a very cheap smile, and smiled secretly in his heart: "Yo, it's actually two little beauties, and the other one is not the girl who stuck out her tongue and made a grimace at me yesterday evening." ”
